According to Prince, this variety was rather extensivel}^ cultivated in the south of 

 France especially in the vicinity of Toulouse, where it was known as Cor de GaUno. The 

 fruit ripens in July, has the form of the Hearts; its vi\'id red changes to nearly black as 

 does also the juice. 

 Cole. P. cerasus. 



Cole is a rather small-sized Morello of little value and no doubt now out of culti- 

 vation. Fruit cordate, compressed along the sutures; stem long, slender, set in a wide 

 cavity; skin nearly black; flesh tender, rather meaty, dark red, lighter near the pit, having 

 abundant, wine-colored juice, sour, sprightly; stone clings; season late.

This variety must not be confused with the well-known English Morello. Through 

 self -propagation, it is widely known, as are its many seedlings which oft-times surpass it 

 in size and quality.
